        Quote:

        Since mimemagic is mostly a database of mime type data mappings,

        So it converts a file extension to the appropriate mime type? And you need a database for that? And you need an open source project for that? I must be missing something, but whenever I had to touch Ruby/Rails, I always had that feeling.
